"You just don't know what to do anymore. You're not even sure if therapy works, but you know you've got to do something different. You've tried to figure it out on your own and you feel stuck. Therapy can help if you're willing to put in the work, learn new skills and commit to using them. Yes, you can actually recover from anxiety, phobias and, yes, even traumatic experiences. And this is more than just learning to live with a psychological limp."

"Sometimes life can be so overwhelming that you just feel like you're drowning and there's no way out. Between your growing list of responsibilities at work, plus taking the kids where they need to be and keeping your house running, it's like you constantly have 20 spinning plates in the air. You're afraid that they might come crashing down on you at any minute, and you're desperate for relief. You're not sleeping well, you're stressed out, and you can't shake this sense of impending doom."

"My clients have created the changes they desired when they combined earnest effort outside of session and honest/focused interaction with me in session. Homework, frequently consisting of recommended readings, is paramount to our work together. Anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and relationship distress frequently bring someone into my office. It is very important that clients understand that change begins within themselves; that it is difficult to effect change in others."

""Life is like an EKG. It has its ups and downs but it all evens out in the end." My husband wrote this poem when he was 12 and it was published in his school magazine. It's true that life has ups and downs and eventually it evens out. However, before it evens out, I believe everyone wants to make the best of it. Life is full of twists and turns, be it losing a loved one, divorce, immigration, frequent moves, or mental illnesses; these pose many challenges but often opportunities for growth."

"I've had the joy of working with children and families for 15 years. I embrace the philosophy of resiliency and take a strength based approach to motivate change.

The end result? Thriving individuals, satisfied couples, cohesive families and happy children!"
